- Chaser's eleventh hour plea to the Queen

The boys of The Chaser have gone on the defensive after the Palace banned the comedy group from tomorrow’s royal wedding broadcast.

"What we were doing was we were making fun of the media circus, the whole system - it's a ridiculous system the regal system,” The Chaser's Chas Licciardello said yesterday.

"We were making fun of almost everyone except for William and Kate because they seem like nice, boring, normal people.''

"To ensure that our coverage was respectful, we were only planning to use jokes that Prince Phillip has previously made in public, or at least the ones that don’t violate racial vilification laws. We've also filmed a joke about hunting grouse which we think you might enjoy.

"We Australians are a simple people who don’t often get to watch that kind of pomp. The last big wedding we had here was Scott and Charlene on Neighbours."
